In an attempt to test my levitation skills I've joined the local Skydiving group. Let's see whether defying gravity will make me any more vain. Now all I need is a red pair of pants and blue tights. Hum.. might have those somewhere in my drawers.
My training session is going to be this Saturday (24.02.07) and if everything goes alright I might be able to jump that day.. yay.
Financially it's quite feasable: 120GBP (180€) for a training session and 25GBP (38€) a jump. Considering that you are actually getting somebody to fly you up into the sky just so you can jump out of a perfectly working plane - it's justified.
After the meeting we went to the longbar for a chat. Strangely enough there were quite a few "computer studies" students there. Now being a bit of a computer wizkid (or nerd/geek as some bigots might call us) myself I won't talk badly about them. In fact since technology is the driving force in our society for advancement, I regard the work they do (i.e. play world of warcraft all day) as highly important. I just suppose that after sitting at a computer all day trying to figure out why the bloomin' program won't get "hello world" on the screen, jumping out of a plane can be rather liberating.
Ok this post:
- Used the words "gravity", "levitation", "vain" in the first two sentences. This was a hint towards the words "gravitas", "levity" and "vanitas". Be aware though that although similar sounding each word has a different meaning. Bitch.
- Made a hint towards superman and pretended I had tights and red pants in my drawers.
- Outed me as an Ubergeek and all the cool people didn't understand my incredibly funny geek jokes. Haha. They are funny. Seriously. You suck too.
- Claimed that society was driven by technology instead of the other way round. Fo shizzle!
